Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Slightly bin-soiled label. Level upper-shoulder
Tasting Note: Baron Philippe was back in time for the harvest. His label appropriately headed l'année de la victoire. I originally coined the phrase 'a Churchill wine', meaning larger than life, immediately recognisable, complex, endlessly fascinating, unforgettable. The power and spiciness surges out of the glass like a sudden eruption of Mount Etna: cinnamon, eucalyptus, ginger, 'friars balsam'(noted once!). Impossible to describe but inimitable, incomparable, and, because of this and its appearance, several times 'guessed' blind. There is simply no other wine like it. Its taste is a component of smell, its fragrance is reflected on the palate. Still lovely, still vivacious. Seemingly tireless - in deed another half century anticipated. June 2001. ****** M.B.
